Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter characterised by the absence of electrical resistivity that particular materials exhibit when cooled below a certain critical, cryogenic temperature. Together with other unique properties, such as the ability to carry large currents and operate at extremely large magnetic fields, superconducting materials present innovative technological solutions towards accelerating the…

On 25 September, the COST Action LEAD-ME held its final meeting in Brussels, focusing on the promotion of media accessibility for people with disabilities across Europe.

How can we adequately feed a growing global population using agricultural practices that are environment-friendly, cost-effective, and also enable us to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss? Research into the breeding of new resilient, nutritious and high-yielding plants is a key element and a very important part of that is the recent development of genome…

In a constantly developing world, with a rising population and technological developments, we need energy. Energy and environmental problems are closely related since it is nearly impossible to produce, transport, or consume energy without significant environmental impact. European energy consumption escalates annually, with buildings responsible for half of the total usage. Residential sectors heavily rely on…
